Nanotechnology: the science and technology of extremely small particles used in building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules in fields involving science.
nanotechnology in energy sector
Applications of Nanotechnology
- Nanotechnology can play a major role in making national security more effective. -Nanotechnology applications are related to energy. -Nanotechnology helps with space flight.
Uses of Silver Nanoparticles
Sports Equipment -Nanotechnology can be used in multiple sports. -In baseball, tennis, and football, nanoparticles are used to help make equipment weigh less and stronger. -It assists materials to help make athletic shoes buoyant and the athlete faster. -Sport equipment used by the National Football League, yoga mats, exercise mats, and sport towels used nanotechnology to help stop the spread of disease.
Food -Nanotechnology help bottles cartons and films being developed to protect food from harmful gases that effect the preservation of foods. -It also helps to develop “interactive” food, allowing you to choose the color and taste of your food.
Nanotechnology
-Packaging being developed to protect food from the suns UV rays is yet another way it is used in food.
Optics -Nanotechnology is involved in the scratch-resistant coating on the surface of glasses. -It is involved in the precision of pupil repair in laser eye surgery. -It's used in photonic sensors that assist digital photos to be larger and more accurate (causes pictures to be larger and more accurate).
What drawbacks are there to using silver nanoparticles? -Silver nanoparticles may kill beneficial bacteria.
